    Hi mate
    I am doing a rwd conversion on my astra van using c20let and r25-28 gearbox out of senator 3.0 24v.
    I was wondering if the flywheel got to be out of c25xe or x25xe?
    Also will the gearbox survive 400-450bhp running 3.15 LSD diff and 215/45/16 tyres?
    I friend of mine used a 2.0 manta gearbox on 300bhp let engine but he changed 8 gearboxes since last year.
    Thank you for any advise

    I posted asking for a price for a lightweight flywheel for my redtop with R25 box fitted, you made a comment that I assume means I may need a certain type of fly wheel. Any advice that saves me cocking up would be greatfully recieved. I have fitted the box with an Omega hydraulic release bearing, TBH I was going to fit the flat flywheel and if nes machine a spacer for the concentric cylinder or have the clutch made to suit.

    hello,
    you do not know me but i am just interested to know a couple of things regarding the v6 4x4 conversion you carried out...
    do you have any problems with the engine running hot, or have you fitted a cooler thermostat? i see that the exhaust had to be heavily modified to fit around the transfer box... does the transfer box run hotter now? (if it's possible to check or be texted)
    how did you manage/get around the wiring? did you just plug the engine harness for the v6 into the existing 4x4 engine bay wiring loom and swap the ecu? please adive because i am looking to carry out the same mod to my car and any help would be greatly appreciated. the wiring seems to be the only thing that has got me scratching my head.
    also, one last thing, the steel wheels, you say that they are from a vectra c? i have never seen them before. what model did you removed them from? i thought that they were from a ford focus?...
    thank you in advance
